BMW 1 Series ABS Pump, Brake Sticking, Repair

BMW 1 Series F20 / F21 ABS Pump Repair

This ABS pump failure is a common issue in BMW 1 Series (F20, F21) models from 2011-2019, often causing brake calipers to stick even after releasing the brake pedal. This can lead to automatic braking, especially when the wipers are active, potentially slowing the vehicle unexpectedly. The problem typically affects rear brakes but can also impact the front, commonly seen in models like the 116 and 114.


Unlike other issues, this ABS pump fault does not trigger a warning light or log an error, making it harder to detect.

Most garages recommend ABS pump replacement to address this, which is costly and may still fail within a limited warranty. Our solution is a comprehensive rebuild of your original ABS pump, eliminating design flaws while preserving the original programming. We also offer a full unlimited-mileage Lifetime Warranty – completed in just 2-3 days.


Choose our rebuild service for long-term reliability, enhanced safety, and savings. Contact us today to restore your BMW’s braking performance with confidence.

BMW 1 Series F20/F21 Brake Drying System: Enhanced Safety in Wet Conditions

The BMW 1 Series F20 and F21 models are equipped with an advanced Brake Drying feature to improve braking performance during wet conditions. When the system detects rain, it automatically applies a slight pressure to the brake pads, bringing them into gentle contact with the brake discs. This subtle action removes water from the disc surfaces, ensuring optimal braking efficiency even in rainy weather. The process is designed to be imperceptible to the driver, enhancing safety without affecting driving dynamics.


In rare cases, a malfunction in the Brake Drying system of the BMW 1 Series F20 and F21 can lead to unintended brake sticking, which may bring your vehicle to a complete stop. When this issue arises, the brake pads can maintain prolonged contact with the brake discs, causing symptoms like increased brake wear, a pulling sensation, or sudden halts. This can lead to overheating of the brake components and reduced fuel efficiency. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to address the issue promptly to maintain safe driving performance.
